"Harding, lock the bridge, the communication non-commissioned officer checks the circuit with the wingman, the feasibility of the navigator's composite route plan, this ship will launch a jump in 65 hours and 12 minutes on the battlefield, and it is expected to enter the combat universe in 65 hours and 14 minutes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The way Jasmine sat in the command chair and gave orders was really similar to that, and it was like two people from her usual appearance of getting out of danger and showing off.

"The bridge is locked, and all the ship's personnel have completed the arrival confirmation. The ship is required to enter super acceleration preparation mode, please authorize. ”

It has to be said that Hardin and Jasmine are very similar in this regard, and when it comes to the control of the ship, both of them become normal.

This made me, who was next to me with this inexplicable expectation, a little disappointed.

"It turns out that the two of them can talk well."

Wei Lei used his emotional tone to express his opinion.

"I always feel like something is missing, don't you think?"

We were next to the electronic sandbox on the bridge of the Youth. Now only as a group of spectators. When the professionals are busy, we are a bit redundant.

"Those two people don't complain about each other anymore, is the communication between them really complete? There's no going to be left unfinished, you mean. ”

Zach was the one who described my feelings very well. He is the person who has changed the most since I came into contact with him. From the arrogant internal affairs officer at the beginning, to the decadent and self-defeating waste, to the invisible passerby who is always cautious and playing soy sauce in the command headquarters, he will come out from time to time to bubble up and show his existence. I'm used to his presence, and every time he doesn't feel like he's missing something if he doesn't jump out and say a couple of hot words.

As the green transparent liquid filled the bridge, the Youth officially completed its preparations for battle.

"Commander, the Youthful will be ready for the jump in 30 seconds. The Veda has also submitted a jump request report, with an estimated earliest jump time of 65 hours, 32 minutes and 15 seconds for all vehicles. Please give the order. ”

"Very well, agree to the jump, let's set off on the scorching battlefield!"

"Sir, this sentence is too bloody! It doesn't match your image. ”

Wei Leili's reminder made me a little frustrated, and I racked my brains to think of such a rhetorical sentence.

Peek at Jasmine and Harding's reactions. Through the accelerator, the figures of the two of them busy on the bridge appeared a little blurred. I suddenly felt something different from what I usually do, and this scene will become a scene that I will miss very much in the future.

Why this strange feeling?

Jasmine: "...... The countdown to the start of the jump is 10, 9, 8, 7......"; Harding: "The jump bubble is generating normally, the assault boat has completed synchronization with the jump bubble, and the jump bubble of the Ruida has opened to confirm it. ”

With the end of the countdown, the starry sky and all the scenery on the wide area monitor have been replaced by special darkness, how black there are also different changes, so now the strange void outside the ship is made of thousands of different black embellishments.

"Doot toot!"

The sound of the sirens woke me up from my state of careful taste.

"What's the situation!"

Jasmine's loud questioning caused the hull to shake violently, and the roar of explosions and extremely unusual vibrations came from inside the hull at random.

"This is the power room, there is something wrong with the circuit between the jump engine and the main engine, there has just been a fire, and the damage control team is fighting with all their might."

Wouldn't it be so unlucky, the first time you participated in the battle, the enemy caught fire without even seeing it?

What is the concept of fire in a jump? I think we're in subspace, so we're not going to be wanderers in the space.

While I was thinking about it, Jasmine and Harding gave a bunch of orders. During this time, the alarm sound turned into a piercing scream, and the vibration of the explosion continued.

I'm not worried about what will happen to the battlefield right now, I'm just praying that we'll make it out of the transition alive.

"Countdown to the end of the jump, 3, 2, 1, leave."

With the navigator's shout, the familiar feeling instantly filled the whole body, and about the monitor, the familiar starry sky returned.

"This is the power room, the fire has been extinguished, 1 main engine has been slightly damaged, and the power output of the ship has been affected by 30%."

"It's really a disadvantage, as soon as we stepped into the battlefield, we lost 30% of our motivation, and our situation is not optimistic."

I can only respond to Wei Leili's comment with silence, who can blame it? I guess it has a lot to do with the poor character of my commander.

On the wide-area monitor, the unexpected sight made me forget the troubles caused by the jump.

The entire battle area was on fire, enveloped in orange-red light. Among them are the wreckage of large and small spaceships, all kinds of debris, and even human corpses during the floating. It would be more accurate to describe it as a cemetery than a battlefield.

"Oh my God! What's going on? ”

“......”

Even the well-informed Verelli lost the ability to speak. Let's stare at this tragic scene in front of us together, this is the cosmic battlefield, our future destination?

"Enemy ships spotted!"

In the orange-red light mist, a huge figure jumped out, so beautiful and full of the smell of slaughter.

The bridge was instantly enveloped by alarms.

"Activating the high overload maneuvering mode, the power room, the main engine is not yet able to work at full capacity?"

"There is still 15% motivation indeed, please support it a little more."

"Cut! As for the battleship, is it something that I can support if I say I want to support it? ”

After a brief grumble, Jasmine again issued a barrage of commands.

As soon as I fixed myself in my chair, the overload force from different directions hit me. In this situation, sometimes it seems to fall into a deep ravine, sometimes it seems to rise suddenly, and everything is more intense than the facilities of the amusement park. The only difference is that I'm in the mood for the thrill of safety at the amusement park, where every thrilling action of the spaceship reminds me of death.

From the rapid rotation of the screen on the wide-area monitor, it can be seen that the Youth is doing an incredible maneuver to evade it.

The picture is really dizzying to watch, and I fixed my eyes on the electronic sandbox. Seven small blue starships representing our rapid reaction group are doing complex and strange maneuvers in them, and on the other hand, on a much larger red starship, there are constantly various lines of fire and light flying out.

Intelligence Non-commissioned Officer: "The Heavy Leader Group is approaching!" ”

Jasmine: "Shoot decoy bombs in the direction of the zenith. ”

Intelligence Non-commissioned Officer: "The lethal beam passes through the port side." ”

Jasmine: "Leave them alone, keep the force field working." ”

Harding: "Jintmad, where did the friendly forces go, didn't you say that they had already inflicted heavy damage on the enemy ships?!" ”

Jasmine: "The wreckage in this cosmic graveyard is friendly forces, and they must have been killed." Haven't you been in touch with the Ruida yet? ”

A corner of the wide-area monitor jumps out of the slender figure.

Catherine: "The Reda has completed the intelligence synchronization. I regret to inform you that, judging from the field, our friendly forces should have been wiped out. And what we are facing now should be the devil's latest high-speed battleship. ”

Jasmine: "Where's your captain?" I would like to discuss cooperation with him. ”

Catherine: "I guess you won't be able to see him for a while, he just took the shuttle to conduct a reconnaissance!" ”

Harding: "Gentmaard, I can't believe that your Gru is still a fierce general. ”

Catherine: "Correction, Gru is not mine. He's really a guy who likes to charge ahead. ”

Jasmine: "Are you a robot?" Speak in that tone. ”

Looking at the hustle and bustle on the bridge, and the bad information that sounded good, I felt that I was a little redundant here.

Instead, he turned to Verelli for help.

He just spread his hands, "Unfortunately, I can't help with anything." If we rashly intervene in the work of these professionals at this time, we will only delay our feet. ”

I sat back disappointed and continued to be a spectator in the grand seat.

The situation was, as Catherine had said, extremely bad.

We have encountered the latest battleship of the devil, and all the ships of our army that are responsible for fighting it have been inherited. Although the ship's life-detection devices were constantly scanning the area, the results were already clear. In this case, there will be no more survivors.

After the enemy ships killed our starships, they must be waiting here in ambush for us. In the face of the latest cutting-edge ships that far surpass us in firepower, defense, and even maneuverability, should we be the tragic heroes who die before they can get out of the army?

It can be seen from the electronic sand table that the enemy ships are constantly shooting lethal fire at us, and we have no chance to fight back from just now, so we can only passively dodge.

The vibrations from time to time tell me that not all attacks dodge.

A dazzling artificial supernova lights up. One of our assault boats was hit by a railgun and turned into a ball of light. Although it did not carry soldiers, the 10 crew members of the boat became the first victims of our regiment.

Jasmine: "Sir, this is not the way to go. We are completely incapable of confronting the enemy. The reason why we are still struggling to catch our breath now is because we deliberately avoid the relationship between the other side's main guns. ”

Me: "Main gun!" ”

Harding: "Yes, it's the one that has the opportunity to attack the boat, the 455 mm caliber railgun, which can shoot sub-light kinetic warheads, whether it is a raider or a destroyer, or even our Youth, one of them will be reimbursed." ”

Me: "So what do we do?" You are experts, please give advice. ”

Jasmine: "Broadside." The enemy did not know that our Marine Corps was far more powerful than the normal configuration, and in fact it was impossible for us to add up to half the number of ship-borne infantry according to normal considerations. ”

Me: "You're saying they won't guard against us taking overboard?" ”

Verelli: "No, what she means is that the devils won't pay attention to us fighting with them. ”

It didn't take long to make a decision, and I already fully understood what my companions meant. If we don't fight a broadside battle, it will be very difficult for us to survive, and it is possible to win the battle.

Me: "Then change the original plan, from the first priority of getting intelligence to suppress the inside of the enemy battleship." I'll leave the transportation of the soldiers to you. ”

At one point, the light of the explosion bleached the entire bridge.

The violent tremors, even with the acceleration fluid as a buffer, left the bridge in shambles, and the fighters fell to the ground.

When I finally struggled to get up from my chair, I saw the only two people standing. Jasmine and Harding, who are not bad professional starship officers, can stand tall under such shocks, which is very revealing.

Jasmine: "Report the damage, and the Comptroller's Office will give a casualty report." The ship maintains the existing route unchanged and is ready for a broadside battle! ”

Just now we were really scratched by the battleship's main guns, and even if it was just a graz, the sounding radar on the Youth was destroyed along with the detection antenna.

I just have an intuitive understanding of the magnetic rail cannon, this is completely a big murderous aura, once it is topped, any tactics and strategies will not work, only desperate escape.

The biggest difference between them and missiles lies in their complex and changeable trajectories and their "smart" behavior of ignoring decoy bombs.

Scout non-commissioned officer: "Enemy carrier-based drones have been spotted!" Quantity 50. ”

Harding: "Trying to stop us from taking the ship, the enemy seems to be seeing the hint." The firepower of the drones is useless to us, but the assault boats are not easy to say. It was proposed to protect the assault boat with full firepower. ”

Jasmine: "Don't worry about targeting our drones, block the fire position of the attack boat, notify the Ruida, pay attention to your own defense, you can help defend the attack boat if you have spare power." The boarding operation proceeded as planned. ”

It was only now that Jasmine looked at me, the titular commander, for the first time.

"Sir, everything is ready, please just wait for the ship to fight."

I couldn't react for a moment to her sudden calm attitude and low tone, which was speaking to me.

It's really an unimaginable scene, the smaller and cute captain also has such oppressive force and aura. Maybe I'm seeing a great character.

sighed over and over again the different senses given by the female captain.

I stood up like my attachés ordered, "It's our turn." On the assault boat, I want to be a waiter for a ship. ”

Zack: "But sir, the assault boat is a key target for the enemy, isn't it too ...... for you to do this?"

Me: "Even Captain Gru can lead by example, as a Marine Commander, am I inferior to him?" Needless to say, the Marine officers were divided into 4 assault boats and boarded as the first echelon, and the others followed slowly. Let's show the devils how powerful the interstellar infantry is. ”

Wei Leili: "Sir, these few words are just down-to-earth, and they are still like that. ”

Me: "Let's go!" ”

It is an extremely risky situation to transfer between starships in battle, not only to pay attention to the possible speed differences between different ships and ships that lead to being thrown into space, but also because of the continuous attack of various weapons, even if they do not hit directly, those released lethal rays, ion currents, etc., on the erosion of combat suits.

Before I could board the boat, the raider boat I had chosen was wrecked by the devil's crazy attack, and I had to temporarily transfer to the same raider as Verelli.

"Sir, the two of us are really fated!"

"It's a pity that I'm not a beautiful staff officer in front of me."

"It's a pity that it's not a beautiful captain in front of me."

"I didn't expect you to like Jasmine like that."

"Don't talk nonsense, what I can look up to must be at least Catherine's level."

"Be careful that Jasmine knows, I don't care if she chases you and kills you."

By exchanging unnourishing topics, I was able to ignore the numerous swords of light that had come against the assault boats. Just as Harding predicted, the devil had already found the clue and focused his attack on the assault boat.

Although the Assault Boat is more agile than the Youth, the slight difference in speed does not change anything under the threat of sub-light speed main guns.

As the raider got closer and closer to the battleship of the devil, the huge enemy ship as huge as the mountains in front of us lay in front of us like a metal wall that could not be seen at the limit.

The assault boats are now bathed in a rain of fire. Even if you turn to the dead end of the enemy's main guns, those ubiquitous secondary guns, as well as the defense system, still have the strength to make the attack boat explode into a fireball.

At this time, we can only pray that we will reach the hull of the enemy ship before it is blown up.
